We believe it is our responsibility to build a more sustainable, equitable and resilient future for coffee, our communities and our planet. We are working to create the future we dream of through the lens of humanity, with a deep commitment to global human rights, responsible and ethical sourcing, community leadership from our partners and a focus on giving more than we take from the planet.
Your coffee wouldn’t be possible without the farmers around the world who grow it. That’s why we work alongside them to support sustainable farming practices and their communities.
ENVIRONMENT
More than 25 million coffee producers around the world are facing the impacts of a changing climate. Conservation International and Starbucks, joined by more than 130 other organizations, are working to help – with a mission to make coffee the world’s first sustainable agricultural product. Our goal is to source and verify 100% Starbucks coffee through C.A.F.E. Practices.
C.A.F.E. Practices
Launched in 2004 in collaboration with Conservation International, Coffee and Farmer Equity Practices (C.A.F.E. Practices) is a verification program that assesses the supply chain based on economic, social and environmental criteria, aimed at promoting sustainable, profitable and transparent coffee-growing practices while ensuring the welfare of coffee farmers, workers, their families and communities. Since 2004, the program has grown to include the participation of more than 400,000 farmers in over 30 countries.
In connection with our global commitment to become a completely 'resource-positive' company by 2030, we are introducing a one-off fee for disposable paper cups. We dedicate all the proceeds from this fee to the SÁZÍME BUDOUCNOST initiative and its projects for planting trees and restoring the Czech landscape. The surcharge of CZK 1 does not apply to drinks prepared in dine-in serveware, in your own mug and tumbler, or in a recyclable plastic cup.
